What is my gold worth?
Add bars, coins such as the Krugerrand, and jewellery by fineness. The calculator shows the metal value plus estimated buy and sell prices. Coins are valued by fine gold weight, not gross weight: a Krugerrand weighs 33.93 g but contains 31.10 g of fine gold. For jewellery, choose the fineness shown on the hallmark, such as 585 or 750.

Budget and scrap gold
The Budget tab shows how much gold you get for a given amount in euro, including typical premiums. The scrap gold tab calculates weight × fineness × gold price, then an estimated dealer offer. Stones, pearls and steel parts are deducted by dealers, so subtract their weight. See selling scrap gold.
Profit/loss and tax check
Enter purchase date and price to see your gain or loss. The tax check shows whether the holding period of more than one year has passed, after which gains on physical gold are tax-free in Germany. See gold tax in Germany.
Assumptions
All results are estimates based on reference prices from the spot price and EUR/USD, plus typical dealer spreads. Actual dealer prices may differ. Always compare several offers.
